Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

[Phil]

The window is so boring no one is even making up Tweets for us to post. Damn.

 

[Utd heap]

Thought there was 2 pages of new Tweets when I logged on.

But it's just pages of pointless discussion.

I was quite enjoying this thread at the start of the window for a daily dose of transfer tweets, quite informative for the decent rumours.

Agreed it has turned into nonsense of late.

 

[K2K]

Still think we vastly overpaid for him, but yes it was better than 100m.

We will have to overpay in this market.

I think 35 mil for Perisic is too much, but that would be understandable.

But Inter arent even close to that. We paid 26 mil for Micky last year and he is a far superior player(Even contract situation considered)

Our biggest problem has been only going to the market when we are desperate instead of signing before it gets to that. Then clubs know we have no option but to pay. For example, I think we should have been signing a Valencia replacement this Summer and not the Summer he retires. Things like that to a long way in solving our problem.

We have left things too late for a while now. Given players renewals until they can barely run, instead of actually doing some scouting for a younger version. The Perisic signing. I don't have a problem with the money as such. It sounded like we were pretty close. Then they have supposedly asked for Martial to come into the equation. Now they are taking the micky.

Interesting to see Silva's transfer being quoted as 50+25m euros in very achievable addons. I thought that the 43m figure was too low.

 

[Damien]

Going to dish out some temporary thread bans. Way too much discussion going on. Take discussion and whining to other threads.

 

[Damien]

5 temp thread bans dished out - ranging from 1 to 3 days depending on number of posts made. K2K spared as, despite the regular posts made, he has posted tweets in this thread too on a regular basis. Cool down the number of non-transfer tweets though. People should stick to a few posts in reply to a tweet rather than going into a fully fledged discussion. If it is that important, take it to a different thread/create a new one if there isn't one.

Isn't that called tapping up?

 

[Schmiznurf]

Isn't that called tapping up?

Only if he met without the club's permission.

 

[Hal9000]

Isn't that called tapping up?

Yes, but we already knew City were doing that, hence Monaco's statement last week.

All these £160 mil stories coming out... Obviously Monaco has just set his asking price.

Simeone could extend his contract

Monaco would be crazy not to sell.

 

[P-Nut]

Simeone could extend his contract

Sort of unexpected but I still can't imagine his style going down to well at any club bigger than Atletico

 

[balaks]

Monaco would be crazy not to sell.

Monaco will be laughing all the way to the bank.

Why? If he repeats his form feom this season does his price not hold?

Spurs looking to fill in for their loss of Walker, what happens to Trippier

 

[Damien]

Abdennour

Spurs looking to fill in for their loss of Walker, what happens to Trippier

He signed a new contract a week or so ago. He'd still get plenty of games.

I think it is more likely Spurs stick with Trippier and promote Kyle Walker-Peters rather than signing Aurier.

 

[BBRBB]

Why? If he repeats his form feom this season does his price not hold?

Only if he agrees to extend since he only has two years of contract left.

 

[balaks]

Much more likely he won't repeat last season though and his price will plummit - they will probably never get offered more than they will right now for him - on balance of probability.

Agreed.

Football has officially gone bonkers. Kid is talented and he'll maybe be a next big thing but 160 mil.


Crazy, absolutely crazy.

 

[DWelbz19]

He was very good at the U21s.

Where is this?

 

[Vidyoyo]

Why are Chelsea even after Llorente? They have Bat man as a more-than-capable backup to Morata. They also have Remy who's probably better than Llorente, certainly more versatile.

Remy is leaving, and Llorente would probably give them a different/more direct option up front.

 

[Nedved]

Llorente was not good enough as a backup for Juventus nor Sevilla, and is not good enough for Chelsea. Weird.

 

[van der star]

Llorente was not good enough as a backup for Juventus nor Sevilla, and is not good enough for Chelsea. Weird.

I'm assuming he'll be third choice, behind Morata and Batshuayi. Win-win scenario for both sides, provided he's on low enough wages and happy with playing the odd game here and there.

 

[Damien]

Says no club have made an offer for Dembele.

 

[Raoul]

Renato Sanches: "I want to play more: Milan is an interesting option"

 

[Rusholme Ruffian]

Morata, Batshuayi and Llorente sounds a bit underwhelming to me. Think those three could struggle to get much more than 40 goals between them...

 

[Alabaster Codify7]

Chelsea's attack will be weakened, I can't see Morata having close to the influence Costa did. Which is good for the rest of us.
